Grooming

St. Matthews Animal Clinic has 2 skilled professional groomers who are accompanied by a dedicated grooming staff with a well-deserved reputation for great work. We don’t only recommend grooming for dogs. We are happy to offer full service grooming services for cats, including baths and shaving.

Grooming is not just for show—it can be very important to your pet’s health and hygiene, as well as simply ensuring that an animal looks its best. In the case of some dog and cat breeds, grooming can be essential. Other factors that determine the need for grooming include the age and health of the animal. For instance, some dogs naturally shed their hair. Others, including the poodle, do not shed very much and can therefore require grooming. Also, many cats have problems grooming themselves or simply need a summer haircut to keep them tidy. Grooming also has the health benefits of monitoring skin issues, injuries, and other problems. Our grooming staff can handle many different “hard to groom” animals, even those that require scissoring and very specific coat length. We also offer sedation grooming for those that hate to get a haircut.

At St. Matthews Animal Clinic, grooming isn’t just a shampoo and a haircut—it’s a part of your pet’s overall wellness plan. ​ Our grooming staff will make sure the visit is as stress free as possible, and your pet will look and feel great after a grooming at St. Matthews Animal Clinic. Also, consider combining a grooming visit with an annual exam or pet vaccinations to reduce stress on you!
